Chapter 178: The Second Fire
(Only came back today, resume the update, there is one more chapter in the evening, and it will start to break out tomorrow)
It was not easy for the mid-grade adjudicators of the city of Yanzhou to move to the Castle of Dusk outside the city, just the mountain of internal information of the adjudicators in the branch would occupy an entire room, and with the purging and rectification of various institutions, it would definitely not be possible to complete the matter in a day or two.
Fortunately, Chen Tianze was not in a hurry, but just arranged for Feng Yulou to sort out the information, and when the sorting was completed, he would naturally move into the Dusk Castle together.
Although the adjudicators in Yanzhou were ventilated everywhere, it would not be possible for the news to spread to the streets and alleys of Yanzhou Prefecture City soon. Therefore, Yinzhou is still the stable and calm Yinzhou, and it has not made much waves.
However, in the past few days, another incident that happened in the city of Yinzhou has made the entire Yanzhou boil, and all kinds of gossip have reached the ears of the people, causing a lot of criticism.
This is relative to a huge part of the entire territory of Yinzhou. In the city of Yinzhou, there are also many rich gentry and wealthy families with great fame, and it is rumored that the rich gentry and wealthy families who occupy the top three are even richer than the country.
And what has recently set off a wave of uproar in the city of Yinzhou is one of them, the Lu family, who is ranked third on the list of rich gentry and wealthy families in Yinzhou.
It is rumored that the Lu family is an extremely wealthy family in Yinzhou, and has been entrenched in Yinzhou for a hundred years, and has been making money by reselling grain and grass. In the past 10 years, there have been endless wars and turmoil in Yinzhou, and bandits have been rampant in various places, which has further aggravated the hardships of Yinzhou. And the grain and grass business is naturally in demand with the urgent situation, and the Lu family's business is naturally self-evident.
The Lu family is powerful, and it is rumored that even the most powerful bandit in Yinzhou, Hu Yueshan, has also conceded three points to him, not to mention ordinary businessmen and nobles.
And the current head of the Lu family has a pair of children under his knees, and his daughter is now twenty-eight years old, and when she reaches the age of Xu Match, the Lu family naturally begins to be anxious. It's just that unlike the marriages between ordinary high-ranking officials and prominent businessmen, now the Lu family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law is to recruit relatives through martial arts!
This shocked a lot of people. Recruiting relatives through martial arts competitions? Why do you choose a good son-in-law in this way? What's more, if the Lu family has a century-old foundation, if there are not a few top-notch masters in the family, they will definitely not be able to become bigger and stronger, and naturally there is no shortage of those heroes in the rivers and lakes.
Although everyone said that they didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but be interested. After all, it is rumored that the Lu family is a daughter, and she gave birth to a national beauty, a fragrant fish, and a wild goose, coupled with the family's wealth, it is naturally eye-catching. And there are many characters who are already prevalent in martial arts in Yinzhou, and there are not a few characters with extremely high fists and feet, and there will definitely be a lot of good dramas staged at that time, which makes people look forward to it.
There are still three short days left before the day of the Lu family's announcement of the martial arts competition and recruiting relatives, and the entire Yanzhou has already begun to discuss, and many people who think they are good have begun to prepare and sharpen their knives.
Haoyue Building, the largest restaurant in Yinzhou.
Chen Tianze, led by a young man, entered the restaurant one after the other.
The young man's name is Jin An, and he is a six-rank adjudicator in the adjudicator branch, and he is not conspicuous among the adjudicators in Yanzhou, and his status is extremely low. It's just that for some reason, Chen Tianze was looked at and pointed out that he wanted him to follow, and many people were still angry that this lazy guy on weekdays actually stepped on a big piece of shit and walked such a shit luck.
Jin An was already cheerful, and took Chen Tianze around, and when he arrived at the door of the largest restaurant in Yinzhou, Chen Tianze said that he wanted to eat something recently, and Jin An naturally had no second words, and hurriedly led Chen Tianze into the restaurant one after the other. You know, Jin An is so big, he has never eaten in such a place, and he naturally can't bear the joy in his heart.
It was noon, there were many diners in the restaurant, and under the leadership of the shopkeeper, the two sat directly on the window on the second floor.
After ordering some simple food, Jin An couldn't sit still. After all, the one sitting in front of him was the biggest official of the judge in the state. Jin An originally intended to stand by himself, but he never thought that Chen Tianze would directly let him sit down, and he wouldn't even give him a chance to refute.
In between serving the snacks and food, Chen Tianze had nothing to do, glanced at the cramped and restless Jin An, and said with a smile: "I have been hearing about the Lu family in the past two days, I am not familiar with it, you can tell me." ”
Jin An subconsciously swallowed his saliva, pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Lord Huiyu." The Lu family is the third most wealthy family in Yinzhou, and it is rumored that the ancestor is an official official of the Holy Empire, responsible for the grain and grass of a state. It's just that I didn't know how to start doing business, and I also did the business of grain and grass, over the years, there was a shortage of food and clothing in Yinzhou, so the Lu family's business was getting bigger and bigger, and it was still very famous in Yinzhou. The current head of the Lu family has a son and a daughter under his knees, whose identity is unknown, but it is rumored that he is extremely handsome. ”
"Bullshit, it's just a prodigal on the rotten street, what is handsome or not. There was a sudden shout from the next table.
Chen Tianze and Jin An turned their heads to look, but saw a big man with five big and three thick people leaning on a chair, squinting at Chen Tianze and the two. And beside the big man, there were several strong men who were also extremely burly, looking at Chen Tianze and Jin An with cold and playful eyes.
Chen Tianze smiled lightly, noticed that Jin An beside him couldn't help but tremble, and then asked with a smile, "Has this big brother seen it?"
"Uncle has never seen it, it's not your little doll who can take care of it. The big man picked his teeth, then pointed to Jin An opposite Chen Tianze, and said mockingly: "Yo, adjudicator, what's the matter? Have you money come here to go to the restaurant? Aren't your adjudicators notoriously poor, if you have the money to settle the bill, if you don't have the money, kowtow to the uncle, and say that the three adjudicators are shit, and the uncle will settle the bill for you." ”
Chen Tianze was slightly stunned, looked at Jin An with an embarrassed face, and then turned his head to look at the rough man, and wondered: "Does this big brother have a grudge against the adjudicator?"
"Hahaha"
The noise rang out.
A burst of unbridled laughter rang out throughout the hall on the second floor.
"Adjudicator? ”
The big man laughed, pointed at Jin An, who lowered his head, and said wildly: "The adjudicator is the softest persimmon in Yinzhou, anyone can take a handful, what, how do you know this coward? Are you also a judge?"
Chen Tianze instantly understood.
I've heard before that the adjudicators in Yinzhou are the most inactive adjudicators, the number is already small, and the martial arts cultivation is even more ordinary for Sheila, so anyone who wants to get ahead in Yinzhou has to go to the adjudicator branch to make trouble.
As a result, there were many cases where the adjudicators took refuge in his family to protect themselves, and Shi An, who was single-handedly shattered by Chen Tianze's whole body cultivation, was one of them.
Facing the strong man's questioning, Chen Tianze just nodded with a flat expression, and then casually threw Jin An downstairs.
Jin An's head was in shame on the spot, and before he could react, the whole person flew out of the window of the restaurant and fell to the ground. After glancing up at the restaurant, he gritted his teeth and ran away.
"Yo, let your companion go first, what's the matter?
When the strong man saw this scene, he was obviously a little surprised, but he immediately burst out laughing. And what happened to the adjudicators?
There have been quite a few adjudicators who have been beaten in their hands over the years, except for those who have good skills, everyone else has only been beaten, and those leaders with good skills have not dared to come forward.
Chen Tianze nodded, shrugged his shoulders, and whispered to himself, "Second fire." ”
